At today’s Apple news event in San Francisco, California, Steve Jobs introduced the iPod Touch Version 2, a slimmer, more powerful version of the popular iPod touch.  Shown above, the new iPod Touch features a sexy, curvy chrome backside and a built-in speaker for casual, personal listening.  The new iPod Touch also provides longer battery life, “rock and run” tools courtesy of Nike+, and most importantly– a fresh new price.  The new iPod Touch is available starting at $229 for $229 for 8GB and up to $399 for a 32GB version.  Also, be sure to check out the new Genius Playlist functionality on this and other Apple iPods.  Genius Playlist can create a playlist suited to your interests with just a few taps on its screen.  Not a bad news day for the fellows at Apple…
